Enter the '1 of 7 Billion' short film contest

The 7 Billion Actions initiative of the UN Population Fund is holding a competition for short films that address the following issues:


- Poverty and breaking the circle of inequality
- Empowerment and progress of women and girls
- Young people
- Reproductive health and rights
- Healthy environment and healthy people
- Aging
- Urbanization-planning for growth


Animals want to help, too


Extra points, presumably, for short films that manage to tackle these topics without being horribly depressing. The entries are due February 15, 2012, 1st prize is $4,000, and more information is available at http://www.7billionactions.org/film. Go on, what are you waiting for?


Effort involved: not going to lie to you- considerable, as filmmaking takes some time. But you could always make this easier on yourself by doing a single-take 10-minute movie and hoping that you win points for unusual technique.
